Honda today is launching a new ad campaign for its 2014
Alabama-made Odyssey minivan, and it's doing so with the help of two familiar
voices.

Actors Neil Patrick Harris and Rainn Wilson are lending
their voices to animated characters in the campaign's TV spots. Harris, of
"How I Met Your Mother," plays a ball of lint, while Wilson, of
"The Office," is a gummy bear in the ads that highlight the Odyssey's
new built-in vacuum.

Along with the lint and gummy bears, there
are other so-called "spokescrumbs" -- such as an animal cracker, broken crayon
and french fry -- that meet their end thanks to the Odyssey's vacuum.

The campaign includes television, print, mobile and digital
components, as well as a tie-in to the Fox TV talent show,
"The X Factor." The Odyssey and other Honda models will be featured on
the program and used by contestants throughout the competition.
